Hello friends! Have you ever had a difficulty in citing from a journal? When you write a paper and you have to include all of the references in there, but you realize that it is hard to add the reference one by one. Moreover, you may write the references in the wrong way. Therefore, in today's post I would like to introduce you about an application that will be very helpful for your journal, thesis, or anything that need citation in it. Yes! As you can see from the picture and the title of this post, today I would like to talk about Mendeley! But before that, you have to install the application first. Download here.

So, what is Mendeley?

Mendeley is a referencing management tool that allows you to easily organise and search your personal library, annotate documents and cite as you write. Mendeley’s word processor plugin works, such as Microsoft Word, Libre Office, and the others. So, in Mendeley you can import the papers or other documents from your desktop and Mendeley will captures the information of the papers, such as the author, the title, and the publisher automatically.

Then, how to use it?

First of all, you have to upload your references in PDF form to Mendeley. Then, in Microsoft Office, click "add citation". After that, click "Open Mendeley". Next, you have to find your document which you will cite and click "Cite". This will transfer the citation directly onto your word document. After that, if you want to insert bibliography, simply click "Insert bibliography". 

It's easy, right? Please try it out! See you in the next post!
